Just as we thought the ice had started to thaw, this afternoon we were treated to a new blizzard. The snow was so thick that I could not see the end of the field in front of the house! Charley Puppy was not impressed and demanded to go out for another walk, even though we’d only just returned from one. Honestly, where does he get his energy from? *lol*
This weather is beginning to get a bit wearing though. I haven’t seen my district nurses for over a week now, and my cleaning ladies had to cancel for the second week in a row. I refuse to worry about the state of my house ~ I do a bit of cleaning and tidying when I feel up to it and the snow means that no one can visit me anyway! And I have my very own in~house doctor as a husband so treatments and dressing changes are handled very efficiently. It’s just frustrating. Still, my congratulations go to the postie who braved the elements today and delivered lots of letters!
So what is a girl to do when she’s stuck in the house? Why, bake a cake of course!
I’ve decided that there is nothing more comforting than a cup of tea and a slice of homemade cake (lime drizzle, if you’re interested) after watching your poodle zoom around the woods for half an hour!
I also decided to work on my Goddess Year book today. I’ve felt a little unsure about a few of the exercises ~ with more chemo and possibly further treatments in my immediate future, it seemed unreasonable to try and create a list of Goddess Habits, especially when there are days when I can’t get out of bed, or feel too exhausted to do more than sit in a chair and stare out of the window. Why set myself up for failure? So, once again I refused to worry. I am sure that as the year and my treatment continues, I will be able to complete those parts of the workbook that I am leaving blank right now. But in the mean time, I concentrated on other exercises.
As you can see, I pulled out my Twinkling H20 paints and had a wonderful time making my own Affirmation Cards. I am so pleased at how they came out and only feel disappointed that you can’t see the gorgeous shimmer of the paints on the photo. Hey, I’m not called Sparkles for nothing you know! *lol*
I’m also in the process of completing my Medicine bag of Tools, but once again there are so many variables in my life right now that I can honestly say it is work in progress. The body image exercise was interesting, and not as negative as you would assume. In fact, I have to say that I wrote on my first page just how wonderful I thought my body is, considering all that it has and is going through.
Now bearing in mind that I've manage to delete this post 6 times already, I've come to the conclusion that the Universe is telling me not to put up a picture of those pages. It takes a while, but I do get the hint eventually. *lol* So you'll just have to imagine the beautiful sparkly paints, the colours and the wonderful words that adorn those particular pages. And in the mean time, I will happily remember my word for the year and acknowledge that I have the freedom to publish (or not) whatever I like in my own blog.
*giggles and sparkles*
